He writes about all of that in his book I Am Weak, I Am Strong: Building a Resilient Faith for a Resilient Life. In this interview, we discuss where he first learned about IRONMAN, how he responded to his terminal cancer diagnosis when he was in his late 30s, why he decided to compete in an IRONMAN while undergoing cancer treatment, how he dealt with spiritual, mental, and physical setbacks during training, what he did when his first two IRONMAN’s that he signed up for were postponed, what it was like doing his first IRONMAN, why we should all focus on resilience, and much more.
